Funded Activity Summary

Real-time control and data analysis of remote synchrotron microprobe experiments. A Canadian-Australian collaboration to design and construct sister synchrotron microdiffraction fluorescence probes (mDFP) commenced in 2004. The Canadian mDFP will be available in the first half of 2006, at least two years prior to the sister facility at the Australian Synchrotron. The proposed project will extend this collaboration to develop a system for remote control of mDFP experiments, incorporating real-time data analysis and 3D visualization. This system will enable Australian scientists to use the Canadian mDFP, and subsequently the Australian Synchrotron mDFP, from their home institutions. The resulting flexibility of scheduling and alleviation of downtime for travel will be particularly beneficial for industry users.
